save answer

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Files not saved to disk are in temporary storage (like RAM), not the root directory. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Recently deleted files/folders are in recycle bin (or similar), not root directory. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The root directory is the top - level directory of a drive, containing all files and folders on that drive (including subdirectories). This matches the definition.
• Option D: Files and folders within a subdirectory are in the subdirectory, not the root directory (which is the parent of subdirectories). Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. files and folders on the drive
